Reindeer Droppings Cookie Recipe

Who doesn’t love combining chocolate and coconut in a chewy cookie? Especially because it’s easy as 1-2-3 and even the kids can help to prepare these delicious no-bake treats.

You’ll also find there is very little prep and clean-up since this recipe calls for few ingredients and not many kitchen tools. Sometimes called haystacks, these reindeer droppings are perfect for the holiday season and can be used as gifts for teachers, hostess gifts, festive gatherings of your own, or you just may want to keep them all to yourself. I know I’ll never pass up a reindeer dropping!
